You might give this a try.  It's from the book "The Photoshop Book 
for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby. It's labeled "The Ansel 
Adams Effect," but depending on the image you are working with, might 
provide what you're seeking:

Use the Photoshop Channel Mixer.  Click on monochrome.  Adust red to 
+160, green to +140, and blue to minus 200.  You can tweak these 
adjustments, of course, trying to stick to a total of 100.  (Why 100 
is such a magical number, I don't know.  Would welcome an 
explanation).
